Sulfur reacts with oxygen and creates two compounds. Compound A contains 1.34 g of sulfur for every 0.86 g of oxygen. Compound B

contains 11.63 g of sulfur for every 10.49 g of oxygen. What is the mass ratio of oxygen rounded to the nearest whole number

Answer:

The mass ratio of oxygen rounded to the nearest whole no. 3 : 2

Explanation:

According to Law of Multiple proportion when two elements combine to make two or more different compounds, the mass ratio of the two element in the first compound, when divided by the mass ratio of the second compound , form a simple whole number ratio.

Compound A contains 1.34 g of sulfur for every 0.86 g of oxygen

        \frac{1.34}{0.86}= 1.5

Compound B contains 11.63 g of sulfur for every 10.49 g of oxygen

      \frac{11.643}{10.49}= 1.0

Ratio of oxygen in each compound

   always put the larger number over the smaller number.

\frac{CompoundA}{Compound B}=\frac{1.5}{1.0}=\frac{3}{2}

Consider the reaction 2H2(g)+O2(g)→2H2O(l) 2 H 2 ( g ) + O 2 ( g ) → 2 H 2 O ( l ) What is the mass of water, H2O(l) H 2 O ( l )
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

mH₂O = 6.4116 g

Explanation:

Let's write the given reaction:

2H₂ + O₂ -------> 2H₂O

The problem states that 5.7 g of oxygen reacts with excess hydrogen, hence, the limiting reagent is the oxygen. With this mass of oxygen, we can determine the moles, and then, the moles of water with the mole ratio:

moles = mass / atomic weight        AW of O₂ = 16 g/mol

Replacing we have:

moles O₂ = 5.70 / (16 * 2)

moles O₂ = 0.1781 moles

According to the balanced reaction, 1 mole of Oxygen produces 2 moles of water, so we have a mole ratio 1:2, therefore the moles of water would be twice the moles of oxygen:

moles H₂O = 0.1781 * 2 = 0.3562 moles

Finally the mass of water can be calculated solving for the mass from the expression of moles, and using molecular mass of water:

m = moles * MM          MM H₂O = 18 g/mol

m = 0.3562 * 18

<h2>mH₂O = 6.4116 g</h2>

Hope this helps

The correct matches are as follows:

1. Big Bang theory: Theory that suggests the origin of the universe started with an explosion and expansion of a very hot, dense, compact fireball.

2. Steady state theory: Theory about the origin of the universe that suggest that the universe has and will continue to be at a steady continuous state.

3. Oscillatory universe theory: Theory about the origin of the universe that suggests the universe is a never ending cycle of expansion and contraction.

4. Nebular theory: Theory about the origin of the solar system that suggest our sun and planet formed from a cloud of dust and gas.

5. Inflation theory: Theory that upholds the big bang theory but suggest there was an extremely rapid expansion or inflation milliseconds after the big bang.

6. Condensation theory: Theory about the origin of the solar system that agree with the nebular theory but stresses the importance of interstellar dust in planet formation.
